Biography:
Born in Southway Hold, Providence; Port Au Prince, Haiti. She lived with her mother, Seganna, who was the village Rada Mambo. Her estranged father, a rather disagreeable Petro Houngan, did not leave the province on good terms during his short stay there. Lithy hoped to avoid that negative legacy for the better.
One thing she was thrilled about leaving Haiti; she'd be safer somewhere else. Suffers from PTSD, after a number of kidnappings throughout her childhood, she had lived in constant fear for her life. In Haiti, Albinos are considered either good luck charms or living demons. Therefore, she almost lost fingers, an arm, an ear for someone's good luck, and she was almost murdered several times - to extinguish the supposed demons within. Many of these close-calls were due to her father's influence over a certain group of people.
Because of those close-calls, Lithy will go into full defense mode if spooked. She's slowly recovering from this since she's lived away from the island for so long, and was able to receive mental and medical attention. But time will tell if she'll ever break completely out of her paranoia.
Living in America had given her the freedom to live away from her fearful life. But now, the sudden feeling of loss, as if missing a vital limb, and the constant pulling and shifting that had caused her to lose focus on what's before her; she's started to believe something else was wrong with her. But... she's always felt like this, even as a young girl in Haiti. Just, not as harsh as it feels now. It was when her friend, Jasper, helped her connected to a club she's been a part of, The Soul Coalition, that she learned that she was missing her better part all this time... Unfortunately, she's unsure of who that might be.
She worships Vodoo Loa (God) Rada (Bon Ange) the Gods that were working on the creation of the world, on making rules, and life-keeping. Her divine parent is Papa Legba, Loa of crossroads; singer, fighter, fool, Guardian of the door into the spiritual sphere.
Lithy is what Vodou practitioners call a Ghost Vessel - an Albino who has the ability to share their consciousness and form with a spirit, allowing them to communicate with others in the living world. The only difference between a Vessel and a Medium is that a Vessel can hold one spirit within them indefinitely. Lithy's childhood was full of people believing that she held the spirit of a demon within her - the reason why they constantly attacked her. Others believed she held the spirit of a blessed Mambo, so she was pure luck; luckier than a rabbit's paw.
